Trust Wallet's Discord vanity link hijacked and redirected to a phishing server; users warned to avoid joining via unofficial channels.
Security & Exploits ·
Trust Wallet's Discord vanity link was hijacked and redirected to a phishing server, according to a security alert. The compromised vanity URL discord.gg/trustwallet now points to a fraudulent Discord server designed to steal user credentials or funds. Users are advised to join the official Trust Wallet Discord only through verified channels such as the project's website, Telegram, or blog rather than through direct vanity links or search results.
The hijacking exploits a common attack vector in the crypto community: compromising branded Discord invites to redirect members to lookalike servers where scammers harvest seed phrases, passwords, or private keys. Discord vanity links—custom, easy-to-remember URLs—are particularly attractive targets because they are widely shared and users may not scrutinize them closely.
It remains unclear how long the vanity link was compromised, whether Discord or Trust Wallet has regained control of it, or how many users may have been exposed to the phishing server. No statement from Trust Wallet addressing the incident or mitigation steps has been documented in the available material.
